    A Central Collaborative CEMIS
    (Innovations in Sharing Environmental Observations and Information, 2011) Allam, Nabil; Mahmoud, Tariq; Junker, Horst; Marx Goméz, Jorge
    There have been research projects on Corporate Environmental Management Information Systems (CEMIS) during the last 20 years. Nowadays we have different CEMIS in the market that provide different approaches and techniques that are solving environmental (-related) issues in companies. However, such environmental information systems are rarely used. In addition, different projects in Asia and USA has been developing and implementing industrial ecology/symbiosis strategy. This strategy has generated new revenues and reduced environmental emissions and disposal costs, while simultaneously improving the quality of services and products. In her investigation, Elke Perl found out that CEMIS are rarely used in the German-speaking region (Perl, 2006). Following her research work, three rationales are mainly responsible for this situation. Collaborative Corporate Environmental Management Information Systems (Collaborative CEMIS) provide approaches to conquer the issue of rare use of CEMIS in the German-speaking region and support the efforts of collaborative work to gain the benefits of industrial symbiosis. In Collaborative CEMIS solution, Web Services and semantic techniques are involved. Collaborative CEMIS, been based on Web Services, provides powerful integration of environmental applications and data. Instead of being connected to several disparate environmental applications, Web Services-enabled collaborative CEMIS solution provides a connection point between these heterogeneous applications. This work will present a collaborative CEMIS solution that is mainly relying on the idea of supplying Web Services from one CEMIS that can be used from different company information systems to handle corporate environmental issues. The requirements will be discussed and model will be presented for such a system. The main goals of this solution is reducing the efforts to achieve a legal compliance environmental management and supporting the new perspective on industrial development resembling natural ecosystem to use energy, water, material, and human resources optimally while at the same time minimizing wastes and efforts of environmental management. It proposes an environmental collaboration between companies via summing up all the required information from different involved players in form of Web Services. In this solution, the companies will act as clients and providers at the same time. They are both requesting and supplying environmental data. They maintain their identities by not revealing the information regarding their resource details.

    A Data Classification to support Collaboration in an Enterprise Network
    (Proceedings of the 28th Conference on Environmental Informatics - Informatics for Environmental Protection, Sustainable Development and Risk Management, 2014) Allam, Nabil; Mahmoud, Tariq
    To face contemporary environmental problems, we have to find every possible new way to use the available potentials of saving environmental and natural resources. The collaboration in environmental management networks is one of these ways that opens new alternatives for environmental systems. One of the main constraints to facilitate collaboration in a network is the ability to exchange information and data. However, most enterprises are not willing to give any data to other organizations in the sense that they give away corporate secrets. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how to facilitate the work of enterprise networks by developing a data classification method to solve the problem of data exchange between companies. This developed approach should help enterprises to trust collaborating with other companies, or more specifically methods that initiate interaction and support the development of trustful relationships.

    Implementing CEMIS Workflows with State Chart XML
    (EnviroInfo Dessau 2012, Part 2: Open Data and Industrial Ecological Management, 2012) Bremer, Joerg; Mahmoud, Tariq; Rapp, Barbara
    Contemporary CEMIS do not cope with requirements from the sustainability discussion. At the time of reporting environmental performance, it is too late to set the right course. Without an early identification of cause and effect to anticipate environmental impacts of decisions for timely intervention, potentials for acting precautious remain unemployed. A resource-friendly design of processes and their controlling demands for sustainability oriented organizational structures. The methodical view is also often neglected. Innovative solutions are in demand that foster the seamless integration of external environmental data together with in-house process, product and organizational data into environmental performance calculations in order to gain a decision base for strategic environmental management. Moreover, the huge variety of individually needed applications or adaptions of applications to an organizations individual needs demands for a means to plug together rather small functionalities to a tailor made system in a flexible manner. In this paper, we introduce the workflow centric approach within the IT-for-Green project (http://www.it-for-green.eu) and give an overview of the used techniques.

    IT-for-Green: Next Generation CEMIS for Environmental, Energy and Resource Management
    (Innovations in Sharing Environmental Observations and Information, 2011) Rapp, Barbara; Solsbach, Andreas; Mahmoud, Tariq; Memari, Ammar; Bremer, Jörg
    Contemporary CEMIS do not cope with requirements from the sustainability discussion. At the time of reporting environmental performance, it is too late to set the right course. Without an early identification of cause and effect to anticipate environmental impacts of decisions for timely intervention, potentials for acting precautious remain unemployed. A resource-friendly design of processes and their controlling demands for sustainability oriented organizational structures. The methodical view is often neglected. Innovative solutions are in demand. This versatile task may not be accomplished by science alone. Thus, the ertemis network (http://www.ertemis.eu) supports a new project to further the development of next generation CEMIS. Integrated modules will map the whole product life cycle from input (energy efficiency), transformation processes (production and green logistics) up to the output side (communication and reporting). In this paper, we introduce the IT-for-Green project (http://www.it-for-green.eu) and give an overview of the modules and the objectives we want to achieve.
